Question : Hello. Last weekend I felt very nauseous and took pepto bismol twice. Eventually the nausea went away. But two days ago I started feeling lower abdomen pain and tenderness and bloated. Now the nausea is back and the pain is still there. What could it be ? Thanks!

Brief Answer:
few things to rule out

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

These symptoms are common and nonspecific but some issues should be considered.

First, pregnancy should be ruled out.
Second, it may be related to endometriosis or ovarian cysts so you should do a pelvic ultrasound for a start.

Bloating is usually a result of irritable bowel syndrome or gastritis.

It should be managed by diet, antispasmodic therapy, and antiemetic therapy with spasmodic or metoclopramide.

You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol, and spicy food. You should consume more milk products, vegetables, and boiled food.

I suggest being patient, wait, and see if symptoms will improve or worsen...

If there is no improvement, you should do more extensive gastroenterology work up.

Wish you good health.
Regards
